IMPACT (BASED ON THE SADCPROTOCOL TARGETS)
Referring to Article 14_19 We are working towards gender equality by empowering
girls who in the same context, leaving institutions wouldeasily find a way of leaving.
We do not want girls to be vulnerable because of poverty.We want them to be trained, educated. We no longer want to see girls of 16, 17 giving birth to
unwanted babies, only to feel safe and secure by a man.
